Your opinion of the Elder Scrolls Online?

So, if you participated in the Beta, what did you think?
Share your player style too!
Me? I made an account to be a Redguard, with the intention of really going all out on the swordplay. But I ended up playing a lot of time on my friend's Orc account, wielding a large and heavy warhammer!
I also did not enjoy the game, it was boring and bland.

"We would like coop Elder Scrolls!"
"What's that? You want an MMO?"
"N-no... We just want-"
"MMO it is! It may not have anything that makes an Elder Scrolls game fun, but now you can play together! Woohoo!"

I was in the beta awhile back. On the last day everyone decided to run to the nearest temple and have an orgy. Some layed on the ground naked while others stood over them and did the /pushup animation. Twas a cringeworthy newfangled f[i]a[/i]ggotry f[i]u[/i]ckfest. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them were floodians judging by behavior.

If you're a die hard fan than like many you'll find yourself insulted.
On the flip-side however, you could be blind to the alternatives and ravage the plains of Tamriel in a manner similar to a mouse chases week old cheese with a blindfold.

Elder scrolls was never meant to be an mmo, what's the point? It spoils an rpg story when there are people running around saving the world too, and it destroys the reality of the world when you have to break it down to the mechanics like tank, healer, dps and just fight things. That's not what elder scrolls is about, you pretend to be a hero and there's an intricate story and you can kill the npcs and steal everything, it was obvious it wouldn't work as an mmo but all these big companies like want WoW

I haven't played the beta but I will tell you this, any subscription based game will and does fail, whatever idiot decided to charge 15$ a month for what seems to be a sub par MMO made a huge mistake.... Subscription games only worked when nobody knew what free to play was and there were no free to play options lol..

I played the beta and had no fun
Enemies only drop 0-2 gold and that's it
Being a thief is pointless
It doesn't feel like elder scrolls just a shitty imitation
Quests want you too travel half way across the world only too fight high levelled enemies in a lv 2 quest
Quest rewards are practically nonexistent
I played for 10 hrs and was running around looking like jesus because the price for gear is too damn high!
mmo's suck
